Shades of Green Salad #SundaySupper

Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventure is hosting this month's Sunday Supper with a theme of Healthy Green Recipes for St. Patrick's Day.


I first made this salad on a whim for a St. Pat's Day dinner party that I had in 2014.   At that time I had simply added some green food coloring to Ranch dressing for this salad.  Today I am sharing the salad with a new dressing that I made.


It is the perfect side salad for your St. Patrick's Day Dinner.  It doesn't get much greener or healthier that a blend of romaine, spinach, broccoli, green peppers, chives, and avocado covered in a delicious creamy buttermilk dressing.


Shades of Green Salad

Dressing:

1/4 c. avocado mayonnaise
1/4 c. buttermilk
2 scallions, white and light greens, chopped into pieces
1/4 c. coarsely chopped parsley
1 t. dried tarragon
juice of 1/4 lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Salad:

1 head Romaine Lettuce, washed and torn into bite size pieces
2 c. baby spinach leaves
1 small bunch broccoli florets
1 green pepper, diced
1 Avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
handful of chives, minced

Place mayonnaise, buttermilk, scallions, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice and garlic in the bowl of a food processor.  Pulse several times, scrape the bowl and pulse again to desired degree of smoothness.

Toss together the Romaine and spinach leaves.  Place onto a platter, sprinkle with the broccoli, green peppers, avocado and chives.  

Drizzle with some of the dressing and serve with additional dressing on the side.
